Queen of Procrastination<\/a><\/p>\n

she ruled kingdoms three<\/p>\n

the land were prisoners roam free<\/p>\n

she spent her time staring at walls<\/p>\n

making worlds which would never fall<\/p>\n

the chieftain came in and bowed at her feet<\/p>\n

\\’My Queen,the enemy has left us no option –<\/p>\n

surrender or retreat.\\’<\/p>\n

Aghast,bewildered and tensed she paced the court<\/p>\n

\\’Oh dear! did they sink our boat?\\’<\/p>\n

\\’Your majesty, will you please tell how to act in such a situation?\\’<\/p>\n

\\’You fool! how am I supposed to answer when I am the Queen of Procrastination!\\’<\/p>\n

Mel Robbins author of The Five Second Rule, wrote once, \u201cI use to crastinate, and became so good I went Pro.\u201d\u00a0 Her book is a great tool to help you take immediate action on the items that need to get done.\u00a0 A motto I learned from Zig Ziglar about getting to do what you want goes something like this.\u00a0 If you do what you have to do when you have to do it the time will come that you get to do what you want to do when you want to do it.\u00a0 Self-discipline is really the king of the process.\u00a0 To truly be great we have to do what the average are not willing to do to be successful.\u00a0 The extra effort, the mental focus and the persistence to continue when others quit.
\nProcrastination may seem like it doesn\u2019t hurt anything.\u00a0 I have heard people say they do their best work right before the deadline.\u00a0 Parkinson\u2019s Law states, work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.\u00a0 If we know we will not take action on something because the deadline is to far away, maybe we should rethink how we set deadlines.\u00a0 Learning to prioritize and get things done is a lost are in this generation.
\nI see the push for work life balance.\u00a0 If you are trying to find balance by doing less of each time then I feel it can never bring true joy and pleasure to your soul.\u00a0 We are meant to grow and achieve, the entire purpose of life is to become more like our eternal creator.\u00a0 We must learn to first to what is necessary so we are free to truly enjoy life.\u00a0 It is time to retire from the pros and completely give up procrastinating.
\nThink on the feelings after you have completed something you have been putting off.\u00a0 Use these feelings as motivation to do more of what you know needs to be done.\u00a0 Get off the path of least resistance and get things done.\u00a0 Then when you spend time working on life balance you are not subconsciously beating yourself up the whole time because you know you should have done something else first.\u00a0 That is not balance.\u00a0 You are designed for greatness, and engineered for success.\u00a0 Take hold of you future and make it your present.\u00a0 What are you waiting for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
